Chapter 93: Secret Affair (2) (2/2)

Madam Zou and Chu Lian left the Dingyuan Estate. When they reached the Jing’an Estate, it wasn’t even dark yet.

Old Matriarch He had stayed behind in the Dingyuan Estate for the night banquet. She would probably return late at night. Chu Lian sent Wenqing back to her room to rest the moment they returned to Songtao Court.

……

In the guest room provided for male guests in the Dingyuan Estate, Xiao Bojian was seated on a wooden chair. Within minutes, a knock sounded at the door. After his grunt of approval, a woman dressed up as a normal maidservant pushed the door open and entered.

The maidservant closed the door carefully and knelt down before Xiao Bojian.

“Master.”

“Have you carried out your task?”

“Master, please rest easy. The letter was given to one of Sixth Miss Chu’s personal maidservants. Sixth Miss Chu must have read Master’s letter by now.”

“Alright. Return to hiding. Don’t expose yourself.”

“Understood.” The maidservant opened the door and left. Right after passing through the doorway of the guest room, the cold expression on her face changed into one that was timid and weak.

It was as if she were two different people.

After the maidservant left, another person appeared within the guest room. This man was dressed in ash-grey clothing. He had an average figure and average looks.

He bowed his head and lowered his voice as he said, “Master, isn’t it a waste to expose Seven just for a woman?”

The contented expression on Xiao Bojian’s face instantly turned icy and hard. He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the man behind him. “One, it’s not your place to comment on what I do.”

The man called One stiffened and quickly lowered his head even further. “This subordinate has overstepped his bounds.”

Xiao Bojian waved his hand and continued to coldly order, “Don’t come out again unless I call for you.”
